Assist them in resisting further destruction and exploitation of their land, forests and rivers.

A monthly donation from you will ensure that we can continue our 25-year track record of support to communities across Africa, South America, Asia and Europe.

Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust

Wetlands are vital to ALL life on earth and are, literally, the lifeblood of our planet. WWT was established in 1946 by the naturalist and artist Sir Peter Scott (1909 – 1989). His lifelong aim was to conserve wetlands and their wildlife for future generations to enjoy. The impact of the decline of wetlands and its effects on wetland birds and other wildlife remains a major focus of WWT's work as it aims to

Raise awareness of the importance of wetlands

Promote action to save wetlands

Reverse the trend of wetland loss

Safeguard wetland biodiversity

Unfortunately, wetlands are threatened as never before because they are :-

Reclaimed for building and agriculture

Polluted and degraded

The first casualty of human development

These threats grow year on year and time is running out. WWT is dependent on the generosity of individual donors and regular, pre-tax donations from your salary will help ensure the survival of wetlands for generations to come.

WWF

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. We do this by:

conserving the world's biological diversity

ensuring that the use of renewable resources is sustainable

promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF is the world's largest independent global conservation organisation. We are best known for our programmes to protect endangered species and their habitats, and much of our work is in areas where the most critically endangered wildlife and the least protected habitats are found. However, this is only part of what we do.

We also work to address global threats such as climate change, the consumption of natural resources and the use of toxic chemicals. We influence attitudes and behaviour through lobbying, campaigning and education, and work with people at all levels - both in the UK and around the world - to seek long-term sustainable solutions for the benefit of people and nature.
